Welcome to Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery

Shopping small has a BIG impact on our communities. On Small Business Saturday, we invite you to visit downtown Lititz and celebrate the small businesses that make our downtown thrive. Lititz is home to over 70 locally owned retailers and restaurants that sponsor local sports teams, volunteer their time with local civic organizations and charities, and work hard to beautify our town. Today, and everyday, let’s show them some love!

Lititz Fire & Ice Festival 2024 is a free community event and will be held in February, 2024, in Downtown Lititz. Throughout our 10-day celebration, we’ll have all the Fire & Ice awesomeness you’ve come to expect, like wow-worthy ice sculptures, yummy food from our downtown restaurants, and on select days, your favorite food trucks. Of course, there will also be plenty of shopping in the warmth of our downtown shops.

The Kiwanis Club is combining two of our favorites – pretzels and shopping. During this ticketed event, guests stroll through town while sampling our local chef’s take on pretzels.

Think of it as a block party that celebrates all that makes Lititz great! A Taste of Lititz is a delicious night out that oozes small town charm. Set on East Main Street and surrounded by historic architecture, the event invites you to try small tastes of our local restaurants’ very best bites. They’ll set up right on the street and you’ll be able to stroll along, drink in hand, sampling their goods. Of course, your strolling might turn to dancing thanks to a lineup of live music scheduled throughout the night. Other fun plans? Games geared toward families. This is a special chance to take in all of Main Street’s magic without worrying about traffic. We’ll have Main Street closed to car traffic and open to all of you from Water Street through Broad Street. Thanks to the amazing generosity of our Platinum Sponsors, a Taste of Lititz is a FREE community event. No tickets are required. Just pay for your tastes! Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery will have fresh-baked soft pretzels and cold water for sale!

The Lititz Patriotic Parade kicks off our Fourth of July Celebration! This annual tradition celebrates our community and our country with a lineup of patriotic bands, floats, veteran groups, dancers, scouts, sports cars and more!

After the parade, be sure to head to Lititz Springs Park for a performance by Flamin Dick and the Hot Rods!

Sunday’s activities are free for the community. The event continues July 4th at noon in Lititz Springs Park and concludes with a fireworks display, beginning around 9:30 pm. Tickets are required for admittance to the park.
